Thanks once again to Kit Baum, a new version of the -listtab- package is now available for download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this, or -adoupdate- if you already have an old version of -listtab-.

The -listtab- package is described as below on my website, and also in Newson (2012), and is the successor to -listtex-. The new version adds 2 new options -headchars()- and -footchars()-, containing lists of names of variable characteristics, which are used to produce column labels in table headers and footers. Variable characteristics are now the recommended place to store column labels in Stata datasets destined to be converted into tables. The new options were introduced to save a lot of tedious calls to -listtab_vars- to produce multiple table header rows in complicated tables.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
listtab: List variables as rows of a TeX, HTML or word processor table

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
listtab outputs a list of variables to the Stata log or to a file as TeX, HTML or word processor table rows, which can then be inserted into a TeX, HTML or word processor table by cutting and pasting and/or file linking and/or embedding (eg using the TeX \input command). listtab produces the table rows, but may also produce a set of header lines before the table rows and/or footer lines after the table rows, containing preambles and/or table definitions and/or table headers and/or table footers, as specified
      by the user.
